I'm not following you. During the 1930's Byrd was a KKK official responsible for recruiting and promoting white supremacy. He didn't leave until the 1940's although we know he corresponded with them afterwards.

In 1964 it was Byrd who filibustered the Civil Rights Act.

I don't know how many judges he has opposed let alone black judges. He recently quoted Hitler to support his stand against the constitutional option. He instead prefers the filibuster which is not an extended discussion but nothing more than a means by which to shut down Congress.

Today is today, what difference does yesterday make, assuming there was one?

My post was referring to the writer's comment about Richard Russell being remembered primarily for stopping anti-lynching legislation. I don't think that's fair.

As for Byrd, I think he is a POS. I think all of us here are in absolute agreement in that regard.
